Chapter 240: Yunmeng is like a lost butterfly
Everyone thought that the journey home would be more comfortable, but they were still dizzy and suffocated. Now it seems that it is no different from the time they left, and it can even be said to be more uncomfortable.
Although I had a hard time when I entered Yunmengze, I lost consciousness after a while and didn't know what was going on. But when I came back, I was still conscious.
The surface of the water looked calm, but in fact there were turbulent undercurrents. The water filled the ears and nose and was extremely uncomfortable.
Now Long Qi and the others were lying on the shore, breathing heavily, all of them were wet. Xin Yi was a little better, but still very embarrassed, and had lost all his usual handsomeness.
In comparison, Lingxiang was very calm, and even her clothes were not wet at all.
Seeing her peaceful face, Zhao Wuyang and Banxia were puzzled - they both came out of the water, why is Lingxiang like this? However, the two of them could only take a breath now, and even if they wanted to ask, they couldn't say a word.
But since he was a man after all, the discomfort subsided quickly, and soon Long Qi and the others were able to speak intermittently.
"Ling... Miss Lingxiang, why... do you look like nothing happened?" Looking at Lingxiang who looked relaxed, Liu Xia asked hurriedly.
"Oh my!" Ling Xiang pretended to be surprised when she heard that. She looked like a man singing on the stage, but her pride was not concealed at all, and she was even very ostentatious. "After all, I have been training in the mountains for a long time. Don't you know how to use a technique like the Water Avoidance Technique? Oh my! It really is true that I have trained hard for a whole winter in vain!"
It’s no wonder that, except Banxia, no one present knew the Water Avoidance Technique.
Although Long Qi had some knowledge of the art of spiritual movement, he only knew how to fly a sword in the air, and knew very little about the art. When he practiced at Xianyunju before, he mostly worked on the sword technique passed down from his family. As for the mysterious art, he only knew a little bit, but he didn't practice it deliberately, and he had never even heard of the Water Avoidance Art.
Not to mention Xinyi, he had already entered the Jindan stage in martial arts. If he wanted to make progress, he had to work harder on morality. Moreover, the Lu family already had a variety of different skills, most of which were hidden methods, and they had their own set of skills. Therefore, Lingxiang made up for him with the "Taoism Theory" throughout the winter, and did not let him get involved in too much mysterious arts.
Zhao Wuyang did learn some mystical arts from Qianyuan Zhenren, but most of them were methods of subduing demons and monsters. Qianyuan Zhenren believed that cultivation should be left to nature and should not be rushed. Wuyang was still young, and forcing him to grow would be putting the cart before the horse. Therefore, during those days, Qianyuan Zhenren only gave him some pointers, and let Zhao Wuyang comprehend the rest on his own, without interfering.
Chengxin Zhenren did teach him some magic, but Liu Xia was better at sword techniques, so he had a hard time with magic techniques. Fortunately, he had a good talent, and Chengxin Zhenren thought that if he could understand the spirit of weapon techniques and combine them with the Huasheng Sword, he would be able to master the mysterious arts in the future. So during those days, Liu Xia only focused on weapon cultivation.
As for Banxia, she was a person with both gold and wood spiritual roots. Even though she was a little lacking in talent, she had a good memory. Her spiritual roots were also suitable for practicing magic. She was also fascinated by talismans and had some expertise in the five elements. Therefore, Master Donghui asked her to read more, not asking her to learn everything, but to read widely.
However, this did allow Banxia to learn a lot of techniques, but she was a grass-walker, with a flustered personality. Whenever something happened, she would forget that she was a cultivator.
Therefore, she completely forgot about the art of avoiding water...
Moreover, everyone was pushed down by Yun Zhongjun at the same time. She was caught off guard and forgot everything. She had no idea what to do and only remembered to hold her breath.
Han Yang had said before that on the day when Yuanqing Sect was in great trouble, Fairy Tumi performed three magics. The last two were a method to transfer one's cultivation to Lingxiang and a method to exchange one's life. But Lingxiang could never figure out what the first magic was.
According to her birth date, she was indeed a pure yang girl, so she believed that her mother was sacrificing her to cast a curse on the devil.
But Fairy Yao Ji was certain that her mother did not know any magic that could harm people. If that was the case, then what was the first magic that day?
Although Lingxiang is puzzled, she is open-minded.
Never mind. After all, the purpose of this trip has been achieved. I have learned about the efficacy of the Huitian Pill and got an unexpected surprise.
Lingxiang knows how to live from day to day!
Even if it was still unclear at this moment, there would always be clues to follow, and she would have time to slowly investigate in the future. After all, she had plenty of time now. But there was one thing that troubled her, where could she get the thousand-year-old Polygonum multiflorum?
Just as Lingxiang was deep in thought, there was a sudden breeze, and then there was a series of tinkling sounds, clear and pleasant, like fairy music. Pieces of crystal fell from the sky, and everyone stood up to look, and it turned out to be the fairy tree transformed from the jade branches of Penglai. And those pieces of crystal were nothing else but leaves and petals from the fairy tree.
The leaves are lush green, the petals are translucent, and each one looks like colored glass. They move in the wind like the flowers and leaves of ordinary trees in the world, and shatter when they hit the ground, but after shattering, they turn into streams of water, which either disappear into the earth or sink into the deep pool.
This scene is so beautiful that it can only be breathtaking!
Just as everyone was immersed in this amazing sight, they heard a series of "creaking" sounds, as if wooden tables and chairs were colliding and rubbing against each other.
"Look! The sacred tree!" Zhao Wuyang exclaimed.
Following Zhao Wuyang's finger, the sacred tree was withering at a visible speed. Soon it turned into a dead branch, standing alone on the stone base.
The ground beneath my feet suddenly began to shake, as if I had fallen into a rough sea, spinning and shaking non-stop.
When everyone looked around, they saw that a huge whirlpool had formed in the deep pool, and the stone seat under their feet was sinking continuously with the flow of the whirlpool.
"We can't stay here for long, let's go to the other side quickly!" Lingxiang said hurriedly.
A group of people flew up and moved on the turbulent water. Long Qi quickly picked up Lingxiang, jumped lightly, walked on the waves, and took her away from the place of trouble in a few steps, but...
"You! Why are you so anxious!"
As soon as she stood still, Lingxiang started to complain, and Long Qi was very confused - didn't she just say that she had to hurry up...
Seeing Long Qi's confused look, Ling Xiang didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I was just about to take back the Penglai Jade Branch, but you carried me up without knowing why. Now the Jade Branch has fallen on the stone seat."
In this case, you won’t be able to set foot in Yunmeng again within a hundred years.
"You're almost dead, but you're still thinking about that damn dead branch, as if Yunmeng is a good place. Do you want to go there again?" Long Qi said with a pout while twisting the wet hem of his robe.
She nearly lost her life in there, but she was still thinking about these trivial things. I really don't know what's going on in Lingxiang's little head all day long.
Lingxiang couldn't help but roll her eyes when she heard that.
Yunmengze is naturally a good place, full of spiritual energy and countless rare and exotic plants. If she has the chance, she would like to go there again.
Forget it, what's the point of talking about this now.
Looking at the stone seat that gradually sank and finally disappeared, Lingxiang sighed with great pain.
As the stone seat disappeared, the pool turned inky black again, and a bright blue light slowly emerged from the bottom of the pool and floated in the center of the deep pool.
It’s the Water Spirit Pearl!
